I accept this. Altium has some (seemingly decent) mixed
analogue/digital simulation. I ignore that, and simulate the bits I
care about with LTSpice. It's free, as in beer, and I trust it. Since
I rarely simulate more than 50 components at a time, the effort spent
in knocking up a simulation schematic is no big deal, comared to the
thought involved in the design. Some day, I ought to investigate
Altium/Protel's simulator - but not just this week :)
